More information about LAL vs ORL Dream11 will be here.
Lakers’ season: Lakers were in great form despite losing Anthony Davis in February with an injury, but now they are in a fix as they have also lost LeBron for at least the next three weeks. Los Angeles will need to regroup and look for more production from Kuzma, Harrell, and Schroeder. Lakers didn’t make any major moves during the trade deadline and stuck with the roster they have. However, recent news has come that Andre Drummond may sign with them.
Magic’s season: Magic is rebuilding right now and after shipping Vucevic, Fournier, and Gordon, which means that they will work on acquiring young talent. Terrence Ross has also been in form recently but the team will need more from other players.

LAL vs ORL Dream11 NBA Scores, Fantasy Picks
Dennis Schroeder
PPG: 15.2
APG: 4.9
RPG: 3.5
SPG: 1.1
TPG: 2.7
Projected Fantasy Points: 38
Schroeder will have to assume both primary scorer and playmaker duties with LeBron James out with injury. The guard is also an effective defender who makes it tough to score through his shifty frame. Dennis is averaging 18 PPG, 6.4 APG, and 2.2 SPG since the last 5 games. He can be picked as the Super-Player in the Dream11 NBA scenario.
Montrezl Harrell
PPG: 15.1
RPG: 6.7
TPG: 1.2
PFP: 36
Harrell has been in great form this season and he has been able to produce at an elite rate courtesy of tenacity and skills. He will need to continue his production and some more for a short-handed squad. He is averaging an incredible 19.6 PPG and 7.7 RPG this month.
Michael Carter Williams
PPG: 9.0
RPG: 4.6
APG: 4.3
TPG: 2.4
PFP: 28
Carter Williams has not lived up to the hype he generated in his rookie year and has now relegated himself to a role player. But now with the top 4 scorers out for the Magic, he will get the balls more in his hands and a chance to generate offense.
Dwayne Bacon
PPG: 10.1
PFP: 19
Bacon has been in decent shooting touch for the Magic and his role increases with a host of the players traded and injured. He plays the SG position and will like to raise his FG% to at least 40. Magic will depend upon him to produce decent offense.
LAL vs ORL Dream11 Sleeper Picks
Kyle Kuzma: PPG: 12.2 RPG: 6.8 TPG: 1.6 PFP: 31
Kuzma has stepped up his game without Anthony Davis in the picture and he has proven to be an effective scorer and rebounder at the PF position. He is averaging 16.0 PPG and 7.7 RPG in March.
James Ennis III: PPG: 7.8 RPG: 4.0 PFP: 22
Ennis’ role will increase with the two major forwards for the Magic being out now and he may find more shooting touches in the upcoming games, playing for a totally demolished squad because of trades.
Talen Horton-Tucker: PPG: 8.1 RPG: 2.7 PFP: 20
Horton came into public notice during the Preseason but he has done a great job of playing a third-guard/second-guard reserve role throughout the season as someone who can score in multiple ways.
Markieff Morris is averaging 11.3 PPG and 5 RPG since the last 3 games.
Chuma Okeke has scored 17 or more points in two games in a row.
LAL vs ORL Dream11 Team Prediction
PG: D Schroeder(SP), M Carter Williams
SG: D Bacon
SF: T Horton-Tucker
PF: K Kuzma, C Okeke
C: M Harrell(PP), K Birch
